Ah, I got the failure from dpkg-buildpackage, and I was then trying
things like "apt-cache show" and doing Google searches, and I couldn't
find anything about dh-sequence-builtusing. (And dh-builtusing didn't
show up anything because Google thought this was a typo for
"dh-building" and so you'd got web pages for things like "DH Building
& Landscape LLP")
Having more references for dh-builtusing in Debian Policy and the
Debian Wiki would solve the web search challenges, and it certainly
will make it easier to promote using Built-Using header.
